Effective immediately.

What changed in the latest version
6 added · 28 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendment to Bill SB 1581 revises the additional penalties for offenses related to vehicle weight violations. Instead of a flat fee of $15 added for every $40 of the initial fine, the amendment introduces a tiered structure where the penalty starts at $15 for the first $330 of the fine and decreases to $10 for each subsequent $40. This change is significant because it creates a more graduated penalty system, which may reduce the financial burden on offenders while still holding them accountable for violations.
